    Civil trial into mine blast starts Monday CBC News
    YELLOWKNIFE - One of the biggest civil lawsuits in Canadian history gets underway Monday, stemming from the 1992 murders of nine miners in Yellowknife.

    The men were killed in an underground explosion during a prolonged contract dispute at the Giant gold mine. People felt the blast kilometres away.

    Royal Oak Mines had locked out workers in May 1992, a day before they were planning to strike. The company then used replacement workers to keep the mine in operation.
